Although “Fortnite Android” is still in Beta, there are already a lot of exciting developments around the mobile app. The latest is the prospect of being able to play the mobile game using the Xbox One S gamepad courtesy of recent Android Pie changes. On the other hand, trouble could be brewing on the horizon, with mobile game developers getting tired of Apple and Google getting a cut from their apps.
The Xbox One S gamepad comes with a Bluetooth connectivity feature that allows it to be used for playing on tablet and phones, CNET reports. This particular aspect did not get nearly enough attention when it was introduced back in 2016. However, after two years, it would seem that Google is finally rolling out support for the gamepad, which could make it compatible with “Fortnite Android.”
Among the many potential advantages of such a development is the prospect of being able to play “Fortnite Android” with the same level of proficiency as those who play on consoles. It does not offer anywhere near the responsiveness or accuracy that a mouse keyboard setup could provide. However, it could offer much better control than simply tapping on the screen.
On the other hand, this could be one of the last good bits of news involving Google and “Fortnite Android” since tensions are rising in this respect. It would seem that the longstanding grudge that video game companies have against Google and Apple might finally spill out, Business Insider reports.
As it stands, the Apple App Store and Google Play Store are among the biggest platforms that host mobile apps in the market. Both of these services take a cut from the sales that are made by the apps on their respective domains. Google’s 30 percent share demand is why “Fortnite Android” is not on the Play Store.
There are now signs that other video game companies could follow the example set by Epic Games with “Fortnite Android.” If the mobile game succeeds without having to rely on the Play Store, it could cost Google and Apple billions of dollars down the road.
